JavaSpaces

Building a distributed application invites many new challenges that include partial failure, latency, synchronization, OS compatibility, data consistency, and so on. To address these issues, JavaSpaces was introduced. It provides a powerful and high-level tool for developing robust distributed applications. It works as per shared-network-based space that saves both object storage and exchange area.

Overview

JavaSpaces provides a distributed, persistent object system that is inspired by an earlier shared memory system called LINDA. JavaSpaces is different from other technologies used for distributed computing, such as sockets, message passing, RMI, and so on. It offers the persistent object exchange spaces through which java remoting process manage and exchange data. It is a group of execution processes that work along with the object process execution through the flow of objects to and from the object space. It provides the following design goals:

• It provides a simple platform for...
